1989 Yamaha XT600 Tenere

A complete redesign made the third generation of XT600Z, with type code 3AJ, look remarkably different and again closer to the Rally versions. The large frame-mounted fairing with dual headlights was novel in this category and fitted neatly with the 23 liters fuel tank. The engine saw some significant changes like a modified cylinder head, and the cylinder body had larger cooling fins. For increased cooling the engine lubrication system was changed and the front mudguard lowered. A disc brake improved the rear brake power.
